Is proxy.gd legit or a scam?
Free web proxy service with conflicting trust ratings; independent researchers flag malicious activity and phishing risk, while traffic-routing function poses inherent data-interception risk.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Visual Screenshot Analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The page depicts a free web proxy aggregator that routes user browsing through third-party servers; while no classic scam patterns (fake badges, countdown timers, credential harvesting forms) are visible, the service's core function enables traffic interception and the site provides no operator transparency or privacy disclosures.

Unverified claim that the service is 'free and safe to use' with no supporting trust indicators, privacy policy links, or operator identity visible

MT Intelligence
proxy.gd operates as a free web proxy aggregator, registered in 2020 and hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure. Our antivirus network detected one malicious flag from Seclookup. More significantly, independent security researchers reported serious concerns: ANY.RUN sandbox analysis marked it as malicious, Gridinsoft assigned a 6/100 trust score to a subdomain and noted blacklisting by multiple vendors, and Scam-Detector gave it 16.2/100 citing phishing and spam activity. One aggregator assigned a 100/100 trust score, creating conflicting signals. The core risk is inherent to the service model — free proxies typically log user traffic, inject advertisements, or harvest data. The site provides no privacy policy, operator transparency, or contact information, and prominently advertises adult-content unblocking alongside mainstream platforms. The domain's age (2094 days) and valid SSL certificate suggest operational stability, but do not mitigate the security and privacy risks.
